Welcome to Curious Quill, an original content resource for d20 roleplaying.
Here at the Chronicles of the Curious Quill, we have introduced you to the setting of Taluma, its people and monsters, and also looked at ways to enhance role-playing in 5e (2014 & 2024). Now we will bring it all together to explore two characters from Taluma: a duo of heroes called Jorgmur Bestbeard and Ghil Grimeye. Maybe we will even share some of their tales.
Mortals:Fiends
The Quill already spent a season each on the ‘civilized’ people including: dwarves, elves, urchins (smalfolk) and orcs; along with humans. There are other mortal beings across the land. Mortals are considered to be sentient people who have a finite existence and are subject to death: they are not immortal.
Our first classification of mortals are fiends. Fiends are mortals with infernal heritage, originally the offspring of demons and devils. This includes demonkin or lesser demons, who are the result of two infernals or an infernal and another mortal mating, and the orc and their kin who are offspring of demons and mortals.
